rear bump stop extensions??

[BBVX]

I saw a thread touching briefly on this, but couldn't find any specifics. I've got 33's and when I go offroading my rear tires bottom out in the tub very easily, so I figured, why not extensions?
Is there a part #?? What's it made out of?? Could I just use washers and longer bolts??

Any help is much appreciated.
Thanx,

Brian

Do you have a lift? What lift? How do you like it? What size tires do you have? If you do have a lift then you should update your profile, if not you worked some magic to fit those 33"s! I will be lifting mine soon and am not sure how I want to do it and if I want 33's or 32's I want to get the Mickey Thompson Baja Claw Radials so I'm not sure how the tread effects it.

Thanx in advance, sorry I don't know the answer to your question, your post just brought up some questions in my head.

Washers are not a good idea here.......
a better fix is the bumpstops off of a earlier trooper (mine are off an '89) they are a little longer and alot stiffer....

Oh yeah, I almost forgot.....Calmini offers rear extenders in their kit, but they are a big 2"thick........

Not hard to make bump stop extensions...here is a pic

Look closely at the distance between the bumpstop and the axle in the pic.......not much up travel!!!!!

are those stock springs in the rear?

How far do they need extended for the OME912 springs? I plan on getting a pair soon!
